I agree that the Vartarg is an excellent choice for rat shooting!! I am a short ranger, I like to watch them fly, thus the FB may be a better option for me. Had one particular flying Squirrel at 150 yards that was behind a bit of wheat stubble at 150 yards and sent him flying at least 15 feet in the air and as much to the side. I just feel the Fireball has the best combination of splatibility and still can take almost continuous shooting. There is not a wrong answer. Like a dummy I sold all my Vartarg brass but if I can find some more I may take along a Vartarg next year. Seems that 222 brass is more available so I may try an 20 Bobcat? Weaver seems to think they are the cat's meow

That Rick, is one beautiful picture. Thanks and you are correct it is time. I just need the wind to settle down in this neck of the woods and it will be better.

For high volume sage rat shooting it's hard to beat 17HMR and 17WSM. I prefer the 17 WSM over my 17 HMR's but the HMR is no slouch. A close third place would be 17 Hornet. |

[quote=B23;303018]They're a little pricey but if you're looking for a high quality 17 WSM Primal Rights sells the TS Customs Rimx 17 WSM and they seem to have them pretty well dialed in. They appear to shoot and function very well. https://www.primalrights.com/rimx

It is all in the eye of the beholder fellows. We all have different tastes and wants. Would be quite boring if we all had the same thing.
One reason the ladies come with blonde, auburn, black, red and other shades of hair color. |

If I never see an internet tactocoll rifle again, my life won't be boring. And none of my rifles are boringly "the same thing". Not even the small herd of AR-15 rifles that I own. (notice that I didn't say "run") ymmv, however....... -BCB

[quote=Bayou City Boy;303034]I chose a red haired lady years ago and I have stayed with my choice. I still find her charming and in no way boring from my perspective versus the field.
exactly my point, we all choose what we want and enjoy. If it fits our needs, then nothing becomes boring. However if we all choose the same thing, then it could, in time. we all enjoy different likes and dislikes, which is the way it should be. |
